is that true? I don't know. I can say love is the most exhilarating feeling to experience, but the comeback is the worst possible turmoil somebody can go through. even imagining it makes me a tad bit paranoid. does that make me pathetic? whatever. I don't care if it does. love is powerful. it's the only thing I know that can change people permanently. look throughout history, like my friend vicki has said, people have done crazy things for love. but what about those people who never get married, never commit, never get hurt? who is to say they aren't better off in the long run? they're untainted, "independent", and able to be however they want to be. they live for themselves. or so we think. grass is greener on the other side, huh? not necessarily for me (yet) but maybe. eventually. maybe not. people say they don't have regrets, I disagree. everybody regrets. whether good or bad came out of it much later on, you had to have regretted it before then.
I smile when I see couples. seeing people flirt and play genuinely adds a bounce in my step. I mean I obviously hate it when people play tongue wars while I'm sitting on the next bench eating my ice cream, but I think you know the difference when I say I like little displays of affection. even if everyone gets that type, like holding hands or when a guy pulls a girl in closer while they stand in line at the movies. what can I say? love and happiness for me usually go hand in hand at the end of the day. and I hope someday you can say the same.
